The Lane Change Certificate is only for people who participated in the Lexus Lane Changing Driving Event held in several cities last year. They e-mailed you a personalized certificate after participating. So if you didn't go to any of the events, you won't be able to get that discount. The certificate cannot be transferred to other people either (aside from immediate family members in the same household).

i'm in southern california, i built a 2014 IS350 F Sport on Carsdirect.com the other day with F Sport and navigation as the only packages added. the final price came out to $41550 before tax and fees with all discounts and factory cash back, msrp was $46230. that's a pretty awesome deal for this car. usually you can knock off another $500 - $1000 at the dealer on top the Carsdirect price.

If anyone is looking for an IS350 F-sport in SoCal, feel free to PM me. I've contacted quite a few dealerships looking for an Ultra White IS350 F-sport, so can give you an idea of prices, availability, and willingness to deal at specific dealers.

So it looks like I'll be getting my second 3IS 350 F-Sport sooner than later as my car is probably being totaled. Should I ask for or expect any kind of discount being a returning Lexus customer? My first 3IS was my first new Lexus and I'd only had it since September.
My original car was an IS-350 F-Sport AWD with an MSRP of $48,673 and, at the time, there wasn't much discounting going on here on the east coast. I believe my out the door price was $46,800. What would be a good price for a RWD or AWD 350 F on the east coast these days? Should I shoot for $45? $44?

I would ask for whatever discount they would have given you, if you turned it in at lease end on got another one.
Not sure what they would offer, as I have never re-leased a vehicle from the same place. Good luck!

I'm in NYC and going through the same thing. Not too many f sports sitting in lots if any. Another member did an autotrader search and there are over 130 white f sports in a 25 mile radius in Cali so looks like dealers will discount heavier over there.

Yes. Lane changing certificate is a manufacturer rebate (look at the address in the terms, it references Toyota HQ in Torrance). College Grad Rebate is through Lexus Financial, along with APR Cash. I gave Lexus a call to confirm the eligibility and opened a case with them in the event the dealer tells me I couldn't combine all incentives. They told me to tell the dealer to give them a call and reference my case if they had any questions. One dealer told me I couldn't stack, another said it should be fine. YMMV.
One thing to remember - these incentives have zero impact to the dealer's bottom line. Negotiate prior to any incentives, then inform dealer you have incentives which should drop the price down even further.

I can now confirm that College Graduate Rebate, Lane Changing Certificate, and APR Cash are all stackable, for a combined $2,750 in discounts.

Hey pjc16 it can be done in Fl for a good price also. What part of Florida are you at? I just bought one at lexus of pembroke pines with the same msrp for just under 43500 + Tax and the other stuff. And I got them to beat carmax's offer on my trade in. Tried a couple of other lexus dealerships in the area and pembroke was most willing to work a deal.

You can get them lower in FL. My MSRP was the same. Got it for 44,200. That was in Jacksonville.

Best lease deal I got for a IS350 FSport was from Longo Lexus. Also contacted Riverside and Ontario during my negotiations.

Payment Details
Term 27 months
Base Payment 424.51
Total Payment 458.47
Purchase Option 34,712.64

Est. Miles Per Year 10,000
San Bernardino CA tax 8%
Amount Due at Signing
1st Month Payment 458.47
Fees & Insurance 503.75
Upfront Taxes 6.40

I wasn't able to take advantage of this deal, because I got this email after I had already made my own deal with Riverside.
Contact George Kantanto at Longo and tell him Howard sent you.
